Now, we were off. Fun, fun!
Yeah. I just love sarcasm.
No Erasers so far, which is just extremely helpful.
"Max, I hear Erasers." Iggy said as he hovered over me.
I spoke to soon. "Aw, crap. Where?"
He pointed behind us. "Do you see them?"
"Yeah." There was. A whole pack of 'em. "Everyone, get ready for a fight!" We slowed down, knowing that we were going to have to fight eventually. They got closer and closer, and then the fight began.
Eli POV
I led the pack of us (Erasers) to the flock.
We got closer and closer to them. I clutched the folded piece of paper tightly in my hand. Man. The lives of the flock were depending on this piece of paper.
But, I wasn't here to fight. The rest of them were. I wasn't exactly a 'true' Eraser. I was only tagging along with everyone to tell Maximum that she was in much, much more danger than she expected. There wasn't really any safe spot for then.
Then we were there. The flock was turned around, ready for the fight.
"Max!" I yelled. She threw a punch at me, but I held her arm. She tried to kick, but I was stronger than her.
"Let go of me!" She squealed.
"No, Max, I need to tell you something-"
"Let go!" Suddenly, I felt a blow in the back of my head. I got a glimpse of Fang trying to fight me off Max.
"Wait!" I forced the paper into Max's hand. "Don't hurt me!"
"Pht. Yeah, right." Fang said, and he gave the one last blow to my head. Right in my weak spot.
All I saw then was Max's face, the ground below and then a blur of red.
Max POV
Fang kicked the Eraser in the head, and his grip weakened around my arm. His head drooped, then he fell. I couldn't help but catch the sound of the splat as e landed.
We fought off the rest of the Erasers, and I ordered the flock to dock down.
I landed on the top of an evergreen tree. Fang sat on a branch next to me, and the rest of the flock sat a little further below.
"What's that?" He said, with more interest than his normal bored tone.
"I don't know." I unfolded the lined piece of paper. It was pretty worn; there was holes where the Eraser's claws dug into it, the places where he wrote were either ripped or strongly indented and it was crumpled up.
I read it aloud.
Max,
You probably killed me by now. But I just wanted to let you know that your in danger.
I heard Fang murmur something like 'since when are we not?' He was right, because the School nearly killed us with tests plenty of times. I went back to reading.
More danger than you expect. Please, please do what I say. This is true, it's not just another scam to get you back at the School. Go meet Jason Seairta, he will help you. Max, you and the flock have an extremely dangerous mission. Mainly Nudge. There is more to this than just the School.

Then the note ended.
"Okay then." I said. "To the library."
A/N: Man, I am running out of good ideas for cliff hangers. Meh. Aw well. I just wanted to say, I am probably going to stop writing in the week, because I never have enough time. :( But I will still be able to write on the weekends! :)
